You are about to embark on a journey of New Construction that when finished will produce the home of your dreams. New construction is always something that people dream of doing. Designing their own personal living space. A fully customized home may take much longer and will require many upon many meetings with a team of people in order to get exactly what you want.
There are a few things you should know about New Construction and building your new home. Doing your homework now will save you many headaches and possibly money in the long run. Here are a few simple tips before you starting building your home.
- Always know the bottom line of your budget. During new construction of a home, several things might arise and with that sometimes budgets get blown out of the water. Knowing your bottom line will help you stay on track and keep to your budget. You can also use a cost-to-build calculator to help you get a rough idea of the cost associated with building your own dream home.
- Make sure you have a good contractor. Finding the right contractor to work with will make your building experience go much smoother. You want to find someone who is local to the area so you can see their previous work. Also, checking references and making sure the contractor is licensed in the State of Florida. You can check with websites such as Angie’s List or Home Advisor to make sure the contractor is listed and you can see reviews that past customers have left.
- Always build your home with the idea that someday you might resell it. Keeping this in mind will help you not overprice your home for the neighborhood. Making sure what you want for your home is something that potential buyers in the future would love to see in a home.
- Why not consider making your home more green friendly. You can do things like installing solar panels where you can cut your energy cost dramatically. Or using something like LP Smart Siding which is environmentally friendly siding. Smart toilets that are available on the market today will help you save the amount of water use per month. These are just a few examples of many that could make your new living space more environmentally friendly.
- Your Punch List – Creating a punch list with your contractor. Ok, so what is a punch List? A punch list is a list that is created near the end of construction so that when you do your walk though it is a list of things that still is required to be done or repair or replaced.
